Strangled Darlings brings a punk intensity to their live show. Taking a cello and making it a hip hop bass. Taking mandolin and slapping it like a stubborn mule. The Portland based duo has been creating original tunes since 2009 and breaking the mold for what hipsters consider indie music. They bring a lyrical intelligence and political punch to songs that otherwise might have just been another break up song. Their song material focuses more on witchcraft in the Civil War, the morality of Somali piracy and the curse of Anna Nicole Smith's breast implants. The band has released four studio albums. Their live show mixes technical mastery with deadpan humor and a little something to shake your rumpus.

Strangled Darlings are George Veech on vocals, mandolin, & harmonica and Jessica Anderly on vocals & cello/bass­­­­­­­.
